No words. Another step in making women second class citizens in red states.

Terrible news. Hits hard when you live in a red state.

This is devastating news www.cnn.com/2026/05/01/p...

Ummmm 🤨

"This is a permanent change in how #taxes work in #SouthDakota. So we’re taking what everyone pays taxes on, and we’re giving it to 2/3 of the people in South Dakotans. A third of South Dakotans, they’re not homeowners, so they don’t see benefit" - Ned Horsted, DRA www.keloland.com/news/local-n...

Me:

Shocking that a bill pushed through in the last 3 days of the #sdleg session would miss the mark…this bill is disastrous policy

What else could SD do with $700K?? What’s the firefighting budget? Who pays for that? There will be crews on standby & need to be paid. #southdakota #mountrushmorefireworks #America250

Who could have seen this coming??? 👀 Oh right, everyone. #sdleg #SAVEact

If this was all a polymarket cash grab, I'm going to walk into the ocean.

Seriously WTF

This is bad y’all

So what it really should be called is the Strait of Schrodinger. Is it open? Yes. Is the blockade still in effect? Also yes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m so angry & sad about this stupid, greedy decision.

County auditors and the state’s lead election official disagree about how to handle a delay of early and absentee #voting for the June 2 primary election in South Dakota, with one auditor calling the situation "absolute chaos."

Pope Leo XIV was ordained in 1982. JD Vance was born in 1984. He converted to Catholicism in 2019. Grasshopper he ain’t.

The Secret of Defense talks about how this is a war without rules of engagement. The President threatened to a end civilization. But JD Vance wants to argue with the Pope that this somehow fits into the Catholic definition of a Just War?

Huge turnout today for JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

Rising temperatures and extreme drought are driving more destructive spring fires across the Great Plains. This year, forces aligned to create the perfect storm in Nebraska apple.news/AGc2KACy7S_W...

BREAKING: Orbán defeated in Hungary after 16 years in power

Amazing to watch the crew of Artemis II splash down & return home today. Nail biting during reentry 😅. Congratulations to the crew for a spectacular & inspirational mission. 🚀 👩‍🚀 🌕

The fireworks at Mount Rushmore should be permanently cancelled. It’s a fire & safety hazard, disrespects Indigenous culture, harms wildlife, & pollutes water.

Yes - great questions posed by Brad Johnson about #SouthDakota governor candidates. What about #conservation & #outdoor rec?

The next Republican governor debate is Monday at 8 p.m. CT. It will air and stream live on SDPB, and News Watch will co-moderate.

Isn’t Vance supposed to be leading the negotiations on Iran? Maybe skip Hungary & deal with the civilization-ending war.

Soon to be appearing in midterm political ads for Democratic candidates nationwide. Thanks, Darnold. 🙏

An investigation found that the Department of Defense has sent out outdated statements about the number of troops wounded or killed in Iran, appearing to engage in a “casualty cover-up." trib.al/ZHtINq3

Ummmm what?

If #datacenters want to do business here, they know what the rules are. South Dakota is open for business but not for sale.

And yet the feds want no guardrails on AI….

Trump likes to move on women. He also apparently likes to fire them. And scapegoat them. That and more in today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3NLs24q

Waiting for the AI bros to come in and well-ahktually this one. It's bad to burn lots of carbon for absolutely no benefit, period.

You can’t make this shit up

The US House needs to do its damn job. Mike Johnson is utterly useless. They have abdicated their responsibility.

Correct

What the #economicdevelopment crowd needs to understand is that people can value more than just money. Love this story about a farm family matriarch turning down $26 million for the farm www.dakotanewsnow.com/2026/03/26/f... #datacenters

I can guarantee the average is even higher in Sturgis. 😂

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...
